    2021 Tow Mirrors - Reverse lights

    Anyone have any information on the performance of the reverse lights on the 2021 Tow Mirrors? Does it light up the side of the truck really good or just a little? I park on the side of the street and often have trouble seeing just how close I am to the curb. I was hoping that these lights...

    Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle vs. Electronic Locking Rear Axle vs. Nothing

    Can someone explain the differences in lament terms for me? I don't tow or have heavy payloads. I'm just looking at this truck for everyday use as a daily driver. Explain the difference between the to rear axle options and why I would want either them given how I'm going to drive the truck...

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    I'm looking at the same thing! I had a 19 with the 3.92 and standard v8 Hemi and got about 12.9mpg around town (back and forth to commuter lot, running errands, etc.). I enjoyed how fast off the line it was for a heavy truck. The 21 I'm looking at has the 3.21 ratio and the eTorque engine...

    2020 Limited Night Edition new owner new to Dodge RAM

    Also, while not quite related, the truck had the Bed Utility Package and a toneau cover, but the bed divider was not there. The Bed Utility group is supposed to have a divider right? But with the tonneau cover installed, does the bed divider not work? Is that why its missing? Salesman was...

    2020 Limited Night Edition new owner new to Dodge RAM

    I just saw a 2021 Limited in Delmonico Red and the window sticker shows "Black Appearance Package". However, in the configurator, it only shows "Night Edition" as an option, and not for the Delmonico Red. When I select Delmonico Red, the Night Edition package is removed. But there is no...

    Slight Vibration

    So, just to catch up here. I sold my 2019 Laramie that had Bridgestone Duelers on 20" rims. Road forced balancing was the only thing that help improve the vibration, but it never was fully resolved. One of the several reasons I decided to sell it. I'm thinking about a new 2021 Limited that...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Adding back the freight is the latest scam by the dealers to eke out as much profit as possible. They are all doing it here in Virginia. The dealers claim that they have to pay the freight to the manufacturer and thus MUST charge it back to the buyer. At the end of the day, you really have to...

    Factory Bed Liner and Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover

    How good is the factory-installed Spray in Bed Liner? Is it actually Line-X but just not branded? Is it as good as Line-X? Pros/cons of having it built with it, or better to find one without the bed liner and pay to have Line-X installed? Same questions about the Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover. Is...

    2020 Ram 1500 Limited - Diamond Black Crystal Pearl

    Right. The window sticker shows the mult-tailgate, but the Tow Group only shows the cargo hooks. There is no mention of a Bed Step on the Window Sticker. Do they just not advertise it, but it'll be on the truck?

    Push button stop goes to acc

    If you haven't put the shifter into Park first, pressing the start/stop button will automatically put it into park, but it will remain in ACC mode. I've personally done this dozens of times by accident, not even realizing that I had forgot to shift back to park.

    2020 Ram 1500 Limited - Diamond Black Crystal Pearl

    Awesome Pics! I'm scoping out a '21 Black Limited Night Edition. Did any of you get the Bed Utility Group? On the Ram Website, the $445 package says it comes with a cargo divider and a center-mounted rear deployable step bed. Yet on the Window Sticker I'm looking at online, it shows $445 for...

    Any news yet on power fold for Tow Mirrors?

    You mention the are is substantially thicker. Do the mirrors stick out further than the standard mirrors? It also looks like the blind spot mirror is bigger and goes the full height of the glass. And I guess the new 2021 mirrors have backup lights to help when reversing so you can see the...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    It's the same thing with a lease. In Virginia, you pay sales tax on the full price of the vehicle, not just the portion of the truck you are leasing. It's truly double taxation because they collect the sales tax on the next buyer of the truck after the lease is up. Virginia has about a 4.5%...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Wish I was in your state. In Virginia you pay sales tax on the selling price of the vehicle and get zero tax break on what you trade in.
